How To Reinvent Yourself | Dave Crane

The Overcoming Odds Podcast

A child grows up in a suburban town with nice neighbors and good friends. They have a backyard where they play fetch with their dog. The school is only a five minute bike ride away. There are challenges with bullies and some passionless teacher, but overall, life is good. That is until the child’s father earns a promotion at his job. They will have to move to the big city and leave everything behind. The child doesn’t want to give up their friends or house or school. They do not want to leave. The child fears that they will not be able to make friends. They fear that their old friends will forget them. They fear that change will be more detrimental than positive. The child will learn with time that change is inevitable and how they react to it will make all the difference. Most people have to experience change in their lives at one point or another. That fact does not prevent the fear associated with this transition. The unknown is scary and creates a discomfort that is hard to manage. However, given the right tools and outlook, it may be possible to embrace change rather than fear it. Take a moment to consider the changes in your life. Were you excited at the prospect of something new? Were you hesitant to shift from one experience to the next? Do you still fear change? Join Oleg and Dave as they discuss their own fears of change and how they’ve managed to overcome them.
